that Mr.. Garrett misrepresented the CON.

not likely that affairs have come to this
pass, and there has certainly been no open
rupture between the parties. Indeed,
there Ia Q very ingenious view OF the case
which takes quite the opposite ides, -
Recently Mr. Ives made very ostenta.

Western Union Telegraph Company TO
make any terms with the Baltimore 4
Ohio Telegraph Company, and asserted
that all the opposition lines would be- con.
solidated against Mr., Gould's company,
The theory now advanced is that an az.

that all the opposition to his lines shall

present opposition to the Western Union

over to MIR. Gould and he will thus buy

would want to buy the whole opposition

occupied by Flesh & Nook, painters, and
Bailey, Lange & Co, sign and house
painters. At the hour Of tho collapse
most Of the men were in the yard st the
rear, it being the noon hour. Several
men were sitting in the windows when
the structure began to shake. One called
out from the third floor, "The thing ia
coming down." But as the vibration ceas.

csuse to be the telegraph men walking
over the roof. The temporary quiet
scarcely restored their confidence when
the rear portion aagged inwardly, and
those in and near the windows escaped by
jumping. They h2stened to the front OF
the building and found the wreck here

force seemingly concentrating over the
offices, pulling the walls inwarily.
The police, patrol and iremen quickly
appeared and began the work OF digging
for those buried under the ruins, though

INDIANA politicians have talent for
tying things up. A Legislative committee
found the Insane Hospital in bad con-
dition. The patients were fed on rank
butter, sour bread and other .unwhole-
some food and otherwise ill.used. A Dem
ocratic politician and oilice-holder Of In
dianapolis furnished the butter, and
threatened to prefer charges against the
Superintendent if that officer refused to
accept the rancid article.
The Republican Attorney General was
about to proceed against two Of the guilty
officers when the Democratic Governor
stepped in to save the party by declaring
that the terms OF the two had expired and
appointing new men in their places. The
officers thus ousted by the Governor don't
want the party saved that way, and they
are going into the courts for fight. There
is more pother Of the came sort over other
Offices. Altogether the Indiana Democ.
racy has a fine family fight on its hands.

devote his life to mission work among the
Indians, and had himself transferred to

cism on the conduct Of the Fulton saloons.
Every ono oil those saloons comes within
